Obama announced that he was opposed, and even outraged, by what had happened in the various scandals.
51% of the electorate believed him, and approve of him.
They are the same 51% that don't pay much attention. They didn't notice that what happened in the scandals, came directly as a result of what he said, planned, and did. They actually believe his claims that he opposed them.
This kind of thing has been happening for four years now. We should no longer be surprised.
You and the rest of the left care nothing about the laws of the land so long as your getting free obama phones.
60% of Americans get some form of government subsidy and that includes SS and medicare.
51% of Americans don't pay Fed Income tax and that includes refunds of what they paid in.
Those are last years numbers and are probably higher this year if the trend continues on the same path.
The message sent to America is clear:
The Dems won't cut your programs.
The Repubs will cut your programs.
No one wants to be that dying child in the street, that starving child in the street or that homeless child in the street.
No one wants to be that dying senior in the street, that starving senior in the street or that homeless senior in the street.
The issue is Obama is a likeable person. I do not believe his approval rating is all based on his performace.
When specific questions are asked such as his" handling of this or that" the numbers are alot lower.
He speaks well and is seen as a good family man to his daughters. That resonates well and is reflected in general "approval ratings".
Great... Another thread that amounts to "who does that black guy think he is being president of MY country" extreme-right-wing rage.
And you wonder why a majority of the country is against you?
As for the people who are getting assistance; maybe they wouldn't need it if you didn't spend so much time and energy keeping them out of your schools, your work places, and your neighborhoods.
And finally, I wonder how many of you even actually PAY taxes. Those of us who DO don't mind one little bit if we can actually help the people you work so hard to hurt. The good news is you are losing and losing big. You might never win another national election again in your lifetime.
Again 12% of the population is impervious to any hits to Obamas performance. They will approve of him no matter what. Also with hardening partisan lines this is to be expected.
